Sometimes I watch someone at a crosswalk push the button, then push it again after a second. Then push it again. And again. And again, and again. Beep-boop beep-boop beep-boop. As if they can short-circuit the whole green-yellow-red light loops for the cars by sheer willpower.

I found myself watching one recently and thinking, 'for each time you push that button, we subtract 5 IQ points'. They probably had an IQ of 60 by the end.

Me to,until the wrong one is pushed on me.lol...Not to much going on,just broke down in a bad part of Louisiana waiting on repairs in a cheap hotel..Advised by the cab driver not to venture out after dark unless i was into getting shot and robbed...I think I will stay in.

LOL...we got pelted here in MO earlier. 2 1/2" hail, 60 mph winds and torrential rain. I have not looked at my car yet as I'm more worried about my roof and that will have to wait until morning. I feel blessed as we are in far better shape than the hurricane victims down south. Gotta love the locals that tell it like it is!

Saw on the Discovery Channel a documentary about elevators. Unless there's a dirty contact (a discrete beep would help), the lift is programmed to operate automatically.Was also told the 'close door' button is a dummy for psychology, same thing with crosswalks.
May be helpful to set it up to issue an unpleasant squawk or reprimand (a mild shock would be nice but don't get too Milgram [q.v.]) if pushed (rationally) too frequently.

Yahoos who push the buttons with the intent to inconvenience others (maybe imperil those in emergencies too) perhaps should be 'locked in' then sent to where security would be notified & waiting (if applicable) or at least have photos and info sent to authorities to determine if a mischief charge is warranted.

As long as no one else, except my kids are in board, I push buttons like a woman possessed and the more I push them, the faster and harder I push them. If strangers are on board, I stare at the buttons wanting to just redneck them
